Synopsis

Jake is not a bad person-he used to be the class joker, the comedian. He used to have "potential". But now he's been expelled from five schools and only Cattle Rise, a tough inner-city school, will take him. Here survival means keeping his head down, and that's not something Jake's very good at. Then he meets Robin, a girl with problems that are bigger and more serious than he can even imagine. Helping Robin means entering a dangerous, violent world. With strong language and explicit content, this is a brutally honest, hugely authentic new voice in teen fiction.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jake is not a bad person - he used to be the class joker, the comedian. He used to have 'potential'. But now he's been expelled from five schools and only Cattle Rise, a tough inner-city school, will take him. All he has to do is survive these first few weeks because otherwise he's heading to the Detention Centre. But survival means keeping his head down, and that's not something Jake's very good at. What nobody knows is that Jake is drowning in grief - a grief that makes him angry and violent and unafraid.
